Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

The sun shines on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a touch of warmth to the damp forest.

But the good times did not last long. The dark clouds in the sky gradually obscured the sun, and dense raindrops fell from the sky, pattering. They hit the branches of vegetation, forcing them to bend their slender waists.

Da.

A foot in combat boots stepped on the damp grass. Ilumi's expression was solemn. Since it rained just now, he always felt that the atmosphere in this forest had changed.

"Be careful, it always feels wrong."

The same is true for Bi Yangde. He raised his palms to signal everyone to slow down and move forward cautiously.

In front, five Avengers soldiers kept slashing with machetes, cleaning up the plants blocking the road, so that Ilumi and others could pass easily.

Soon, a group of fifty people, led by Sammy's Big Ear, came to a river.

"It's a river, I don't know if the water in it can be drunk."

Virus hunter Sophia squatted by the river, took out an ampoule from her backpack, put on disposable protective gloves, immersed the ampoule in the water, and put it away when it was about one-third full.

"check."

Illumi looked to the left, and on Sloth's burly body, a lovely-looking Zhengta sat on his shoulders and dangled his legs.

Drop drop...

Pride received Ilumi's order, took out a tablet from the giant backpack behind Slos, and tapped his fingers on the screen.

Bang!

An Avengers soldier stepped directly into the river, bent down and held up a little water in one hand, bowing his head and standing still.

At this time, in the picture of the Ranger's neuro-mechanical helmet, the analysis data of the river water was constantly changing, and it was finally confirmed that the water quality was Class I, which was not polluted in any way.

"Class I water quality, drinkable."

At the same time as Pride responded to Illumi, he swiped his fingers on the screen to let the Avengers return to the shore.

Poof!

However, when the Avengers returned to the shore, they paused, raised their rifle with a silencer and shot at the river below their feet.

This gunshot immediately attracted the attention of Bi Yang De and the others, looking at the river at the foot of the Avengers soldier, looking vigilant.

Puff puff……

But then the Avengers fired continuously towards the surface of the water, wiping out a clip in just five seconds. The Avengers quickly changed the magazine and was about to continue shooting...

"Let him come up, don't waste your bullets."

Illumi ordered that he had already seen what was in the water. Although there was a lot of ammunition in the Avengers backpack, there was no need to waste ammunition for this kind of thing.

The Avengers soldiers, under the control of Pride, ignored the attack from the water and walked directly back to the shore.

At this time, everyone saw that there were more than a dozen hideous-looking fish on the Avenger's sturdy calf, biting into the flesh. After landing, the Avenger took out the steel knife around his waist.

scoff!

Dao lights flashed, all the fish biting on the legs were cut into two parts, the back half fell to the ground, but the mouth part was still bitten in the calf flesh.

The Avengers soldiers directly slapped them one by one with the back of the knife.

"Is this a piranha?"

A man in a peaked cap came to the Avengers and squatted down, pulled a dagger from his calf, and fiddled with the piranha that was cut in two.

"But it seems to be a mutant variety."

The man in the peaked cap, named Shepard, is a marine hunter in Bizander's team, specializing in the study of various marine alien and mutant creatures.

He took out a bottle from his backpack and put the mutated piranha corpse on the ground into it, intending to take it back for research.

"How to cross the river? Do you want to clean up the piranhas first, or just cross the river like this?"

The man in the peaked cap stood up and looked at Biyande.

"Don't worry, it's just some piranhas. The army will find a way to get it done."

Bi Young rubbed his chin. They were the vanguard investigation team, and there was an investigation team of thousands of people behind them, but even so, it was not necessary for them to solve such small troubles.

After speaking, Bi Young also looked at Illumi and Kim Bradley.

"Let's go."

At the same time as Yilu Mi spoke, her figure blurred and flashed, and appeared directly on the opposite river bank with a "swoosh".

"So fast."

Biyande's expression froze, but as soon as he finished speaking, Sloth's figure beside him disappeared instantly and appeared on the opposite bank. And Pride, who still sits firmly on his shoulders even at this speed.

"Hey, he's fast, so why is that big guy so fast!?"

Sergio, with shoulder-length white hair, pointed at Illumi with a twitching cheek, and then pointed at Slos, who was facing him. The corners of his mouth twitched and he complained.

The rest of the team also opened their mouths, looking astonished.

Bang!

While he was complaining, when others were surprised, the Avengers soldiers jumped high one by one, and with the help of the power of human auxiliary prosthetics, they easily crossed the five-meter-wide river.

Kim Bradley and Grid also jumped across the river at the same time.

"Fuck, what kind of monsters are these?"

Sergio complained again, he was clearly carrying such a large supply backpack, but he was able to jump several meters high with a single jump, which surprised him a bit.

"It's the reason for those human-assisted prosthetics on them."

Cervantes looked at the mechanical skeletons on the Avengers. He once knew about this kind of thing, but they were all ordinary human assisted prosthetics, which were used to help disabled people walk normally.

"But the auxiliary prosthetics on these guys may already be used as a simplified version of the powered exoskeleton."

Cervantes' eyes were a bit complicated. He looked at Illumi and Kim Bradley on the other side of the river. With such advanced technology and weapons and equipment, what is the origin behind them?

Although their identities had been confirmed in the previous meeting, he felt that there was still a layer of mist floating around Ilumi and the others, making it difficult for people to figure it out.

Bi Yangde and the others jumped across the river one by one and continued to move forward.

Probably because it was still near the coastline, a group of fifty people walked for about twenty minutes without encountering any dangerous creatures, until they came to an area full of colorful flowers.

On the ground, the surrounding vegetation, and even the thick tree trunks, all kinds of brightly colored flowers bloomed, extending to the top they couldn't see.

"It's strange, isn't it? There is actually a sea of ​​flowers in the virgin forest?"

A man looked at the sea of ​​flowers ahead with a smile on his face. Although he was laughing, he didn't dare to step into it.

"These flowers look strange."

At this time, a black-haired woman stepped forward to observe these flowers, put on gloves and touched them, opened the flowers to see the stems and rhizomes below them, and even stepped into the sea of ​​flowers.

"Why?" someone asked.

"They all look different."

The black-haired woman, Natalie, is a biologist Hunter in the Biyande team. Her research field is the life cycle of cell genetics.

She opened the flowers as she walked, examining the stems and rhizomes beneath them. Suddenly, Natalie lifted the underside of the flower and turned sideways for her companions to see clearly.

"Looking at these flowers, you wouldn't say they're the same species. But they grow on the same branch. But then they're definitely the same species, the same plant."

It turned out that there were no rhizomes under the flowers at all, some were just twigs, just like grafted.

"It feels like they're constantly mutating."

Natalie shook her head, squatted down and carefully observed these flower branches, her brows furrowed.

"Is it a disease?"

Ilumi walked past him and asked casually.

"Well..."

At the same time as Natalie spoke, she snapped a flower from the branch. There were eight petals on it, and each petal had several different colors, such as blue, purple, dark purple, black, etc. .

"If it happened to people, you would definitely think it was a disease."

Natalie folded a petal and put it in her backpack, got up and continued to move forward.

I don't know how long it took.

Da da da……

The footsteps of Yilu Mi and his party suddenly stopped, and they turned to look back with a solemn expression.

"The gunshots came from where we passed."

Kim Bradley frowned, Ilu Mi's face was flat. On the other hand, Grid looked excited, and he walked along the way, indifferently, and his temperament could not be restrained for a long time.

zizi~

At this moment, there was a rustling of electricity from their headsets, followed by Captain Olsen's voice.

"Be careful, the sea of ​​flowers will move, and they will attack us!"

Yilu Mi and Biyangde and the others were shocked~www.NovelMTL.com~, but at the same time there was a kind of doubt in their hearts, why were they not attacked?

Ten minutes ago...

The 1,000-member investigation team in the back slowly passed through this area. They followed the places where Ilumi and the others passed, and proceeded cautiously.

"These flowers are very interesting."

In the expert team, a doctor who was about thirty-five years old squatted down and touched the flowers under his feet with his gloved fingers.

"be careful."

"It doesn't matter, since the pioneer investigation team chose this path, it means that there is no problem with these flowers."

Someone reminded him next to him, but he shook his head with a chuckle, took out a jar from his backpack, snapped off a petal, and put it into the jar.

Whoa, whoa...

And just when he put the petals into the jar, the originally peaceful sea of ​​flowers suddenly moved, and a large number of branches moved secretly along the ground.

"Be careful!"

A soldier in charge of protecting the doctor shouted, pulled the trigger behind the doctor, and the muzzle flashed.

Da da da……

The intense gunfire made the doctor kneel on the ground with headshots in both hands, not daring to move.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

The doctor looked up subconsciously, and saw that the soldier who had shot at him earlier had a lot of vine branches covered with flowers wrapped around him. The branches severely strangled the soldier's neck, hands and feet.

boom.

The soldier, who was tightly entangled by branches and vines, could not control his balance and fell to the ground.
